Olfactory-auditory sensory integration in the olfactory tubercle. Bar graphs of average stimulus evoked responses across 17 units in response to tone (left), odor (middle, see methods for odor) and simultaneous tone and odor presentations (right column).hus, both accessory and main olfactory systems converge in the olfactory tubercleâpresenting this structure as a âmixedâ olfactory cortex (Martinez-Marcos, 2009). These anatomical points highlight the likely role of the tubercle in the processing of odors.
Precancerous condition. A precancerous condition or premalignant condition, sometimes called a potentially precancerous condition or potentially premalignant condition, is a state of disordered morphology of cells that is associated with an increased risk of cancer. If left untreated, these conditions may lead to cancer.
Inflammation and Cancer: the NF-ÎºB Connection. Chronic inflammation is an underlying factor in the development and progression of many of the chronic diseases of aging, such as arthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and cancer.F-ÎºB and its Relationship to Disease. Altered regulation of NF-ÎºB activity is observed in many genetically-linked diseases and chronic diseases of aging, including cancer. NF-ÎºB activation has been linked to inflammation-driven tumor promotion and progression.
